Lyric

Lyric

Life’s longing to sing out -
Lovely or lamenting,
Lively in lusty breaths,
Liberates lonely hearts,
Librettos live in love,
Limber lines of stage light
Lyrical luxury.

This subject makes total sense for you, the songwriter! Life's longing to sing out - so true. Loved your references to opera and stage, and the exuberance of 'lusty breaths'. Especially enjoyed your last 2 words, great synopsis. Best wishes in the pleiades contest, and do keep writing these gems, Sam!
